Banh Design Can Go Fuck Themselves
11 February 2005, the wee hours
Ladies, cover your ears eyes. Fuck. I was being spammed by the cunts at Banh Design are fuckers. It might be silly to call-out a comment spammer, but this is the first time I’ve received spam on my Textpattern site. I think the fucker is entering the stuff by hand since it is all coming from the same IP. Now, the question I have is, why does Textpattern have a ban-comments-from-ip feature if it doesn’t do anything?
How effective is banning the ip address? No wonder it doesn’t work.
You could have tried with the .htaccess file though.

Next time; I just sat there and erased them as he posted them, and then turned off commenting on any post for something like 10-15 minutes. I think that was the aggravating part. If it was a bot at least that personal element to the spamming isn’t there.

ya, i’ve been getting like 10 comment spams a day for poker websites. assholes. So i banned the words “poker” and “hold em”. That did the trick.
Luckily Wordpress 1.5 adds the no-follow clause on its links so even if the filter misses it, the only benefit they get is pissing me off.

Yeah. All the links here are marked with
no-follow, so spamming my comments serves no real purpose. I have some keywords blocked in my .htaccess file to stop referrer spam; no filters on what people can post in comments.by ramanan on February 11 2005, 2:46 pm #
The IP ban code will be fixed in Textpattern 1.0.
